Salvino Marsura Olimpiadi wall sconce

Imagery associated with the Olympics is abstracted and reimagined in this Marsuran wall sconce, which lights gently from the back. 

The piece, which is signed by Marsura, is in good condition, with wear and patination consistent with its age. Rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.

Salvino Marsura (1938–2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
